Choose the operations and the amount of support
Choose by the learner’s current skills. Mixing operations adds the task of recognizing a sign before choosing a method, even when the individual numbers are familiar.
The preview shows the first student page. Downloads contain the complete worksheet; the version with answers adds a separate key with matching problem positions. More spacious written-method practice may use several pages.
Learning objective
What this activity builds
Choose the appropriate written method for each of the four operations.
Worked example
157 ÷ 12 = ?
13 remainder 1, or 13 1/12
Twelve fits into 157 thirteen times because 12 × 13 = 156. The remaining one is one twelfth of another group.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- The worksheet has 24 problems grouped as six addition, six subtraction, six multiplication and six division tasks. Complete downloads may span several pages.
- Multiplicand and multiplier widths are independent. The key includes partial products and long-division working.
- Allowing borrowing into zero permits it; it does not force every subtraction to use it. Remainders can be required, absent or mixed.
